Watchers and Sufferers

My torment
Is watching others
Endure theirs

Hell is other people as Mr. Sartre would probably say.
I like to think the reality of the matter and somewhere between what you displayed here and what that gentleman said. Thank you for sharing, short, and thought provoking.


I have
Never met
Anyone
From Missouri

Therefore
I have only
Speculation
To go on
When assuming

It exists

A true empath and most altruistic MS. Enjoy it while you can because your turn in the barrel will come when least expected (but I hope not) - cheers!

I chuckled at this because watching an older sibling struggle with consequences might keep the younger one from making the same mistakes.
